2013 pile started

[jeepmedic]

Finally got all my wood for winter 2013-14. Combos of box elder, cottonwood, oak, some locust, and some hickory. All for FREE !

Started splitting and stacking yesterday. Have had it all bucked up for about a month now, but couldnt figure out where to stack it all.

So with a help from a few little orange friends ...

Great pictures. They tell a story of lots of work & some serious BTUs for 2013/14.
Looks like the "red" friend with his "tow along buddy" helped allot too
Good to have friends

I probably burned some cotton wood this past winter, but Im not really sure. This was my first winter with wood heat....so I really had no idea what I was doing until about February. I can tell a difference in the coals when I burn oak or elm, but I think the cotton wood did ok. I burned lots of box elder and only had to fill about every 8 hours, keeping our log home @ 68F.

Next year I will have a better idea since all my wood will be seasoned better, and I know what species I am burning now thanks to you guys !
